When creationists cite Pasteur, it's an example of extreme ignorance. Pasteur was dealing with what was then called "spontaneous generation" of mold, maggots, etc. in food.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the first appearance of life on earth. The creationoid websites that perpetuate this fraud are really low-end scammers.
